Donald Trump's mental health becomes an issue again
CNN ^ | Sept. 15, 2021 | Chris Cillizza

(CNN) Here's a fact you may have missed amid all of the coverage of the allegations and revelations in the new book by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa: The top general in the country believed that President Donald Trump was in significant enough mental decline that he took countermeasures to ensure Trump didn't start a war with China on his way out the door.

Yes, that actually happened, according to "Peril." Here's the relevant passage: "Woodward and Costa write that [Joint Chief Chairman Mark] Milley, deeply shaken by the assault, 'was certain that Trump had gone into a serious mental decline in the aftermath of the election, with Trump now all but manic, screaming at officials and constructing his own alternate reality about endless election conspiracies.'

"Milley worried that Trump could 'go rogue,' the authors write. "'You never know what a president's trigger point is,' Milley told his senior staff," according to the book. Think about that for a minute. Milley, the top military adviser to the president, a man who undoubtedly spent considerable time with Trump in this period of time, believed that he was in "serious mental decline" triggered by his election loss.

And here's the thing: Milley wasn't the only person who noticed a change in Trump's behavior in the wake of the election. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, a loyal ally of the President, felt the same way. Again, the Woodward/Costa book sheds light here: "The book details a private call McCarthy had with Trump the night before Biden's inauguration. According to Woodward and Costa, McCarthy told Trump, 'I don't know what's happened to you in the last two months. ... You're not the same as you were for the last four years.'

Biden is drooling and pooping in his pants and it is Trump’s fault.

They’ve been doing it for years. Even had his niece (a “mental-health professional”) doing the rounds talking about stuff she isn’t qualified to diagnose.

Which Alinsky rule is it that says to always accuse your most feared enemy of being and/or doing what you are.

“Donald Trump’s mental health becomes an issue again”

How does it become an issue when he has no health issues, mental or otherwise? I think we know the answer to that.

CNN needs some editors. They misspelled Joe Biden in the headline.

They have a phony fraud who did not actually win the presidential election parading around in the Oval Office. He needs an earpiece to be fed his lines every time he speaks in public. He gets lost in the WH garden. He lies and has inaccurate memories of where he’s worked. He can’t remember peoples’ names, or where he is or anything without a great deal of puppeteers’ help. And these morons have the gall to suggest that TRUMP has a mental problem? THEY have a mental problem! They’re idiots and Dimmocommies!

They can’t deny Milly’s treason, so they have to justify it.

“Which should concern all of us.”

You have to hand it to the Leftists, they know how to fight. The real mental case in now in the White House, with his fingers close to the nuclear trigger, but the Left is still pointing fingers at Trump for distraction.

The time is coming when all conservatives, and especially Christians, will be considered insane.
